Vitamin D, sunlight, and the epidemiology of prostate cancer

This 2012 review examines the relationship between vitamin D, sunlight exposure, and prostate cancer risk. Ecological studies indicate an inverse correlation between ultraviolet (UV) radiation levels and prostate cancer mortality. Human prostate cells possess receptors for 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, which exhibits anticancer effects in vitro and in animal models. While some

Phase 2 study examining magnesium-dependent tinnitus

This 2012 cohort study published in Magnesium Research analyzed data from 4,107 U.S. adults in the NHANES 2001–2006 dataset to examine the relationship between magnesium intake and serum vitamin D levels. The findings showed that higher magnesium intake was significantly associated with increased serum 25(OH)D levels and a lower risk
